Emperor Williams Health and
What the Doctors Say of

GERMNAY.
VARIOUS ITEMS.


BERLIN, August 20.-The reichstag will
reassemble at the beginning of November.
The agitation inaugurated by the agrarian
party has made deep impression on the
government, and has resulted in their
preparation of bill which will be sub
mitted in the early part of the session,
raising duties on corn. Another leading
measure which will be considered during
the session will be the workmen's insur-
ance bill.
Emperor William is slowly recovering
from an attack of rheumatism. He was
we'll enough to-day to receive verbal re
ports of state business and to entertain a
small party at dinner. Alarming reports
about his condition, one of which stated
he had a fit of apoplexy, were totally
without foundation. There have not even
been any symptoms of renewal of his
old ailment affecting his kidneys.
THE GROWN PRINCE.
DR.. Mckenzie, the crown princes En-
glish physician, has sent to the New York
Associated Press correspondent here a
special report of the princes present con
dition. The progress made, he says, is
quite satisfactory, and there is every
prospect for permanent cure of the
princes malady. On the other hand il
appears from the doctors reports thai
the curative process will be slow, and that
while there is at present no recurrence OF
the growth in the princes throat, it is mo-
unlikely there will be a regrowth on sew
eral occasions before permanent cure il
effected. The most troublesome feature
of the case, the doctor says, is the con-
slant disposition to take cold, or rather q
predisposition to congestion of the
mucous membrane of the larynx, oc.
curing in different part OF
the organ, and to obviate this
DIR. Mckenzie will recommend that the
crown prince pass the greater part of the
coming winter at Pegli. He will also ad-
wise the prince to abstain from using his
voice as much as possible. The crown
prince will attend none of the military
maneuvres this year. A story was circu-
lated at Gastein at the time of the EN-
per0r Williams departure, that in an in
terview between the German and Austrian
emperors the latter had remarked the pro
found impression that had been produced
upon him by Prince Bismarck's speech il

A great deal of interest is manifested
here in the proposed railroad from Austin
to McGregor. 1t is thought that on &C
count of SO many men being
unemployed in consequence OF
the drouth, plenty of laborers
could readily be obtained, and that an OPP
portunity of obtaining work on the rail-
road would be great boon to men need
ing means of subsistence for themselves
and their families.

A Mystery,

ST.. LOUIS, August 2O.-Martin Bailey, a
printer, is in jail. His wife lies in bed
with her throat cut, and in the next room
lies a 1-year-old baby dead, with blood
oozing from its mouth. Yesterday Bailey
went to work as usual. At 10 o'clock last
night he returned home and found his
baby dead. He called his wife to the
room, and when she saw the lifeless little
form she ran to the kitchen and, in an in
slant, had cut her throat. She may re-
cover. Then Baily acted so queerly; he
was in quite good humor, smoked a
cigar with relish, and seemed to enjoy
the situation so that he was arrested. The
wife appeared crazed. Bailey says she
had spells, aud has been growing worse
since he brought her from Chicago. She
will recover. The cause of the infants
death Is a mystery, and circumstances
point to the father or the mother.

ST. LOUIS, August 2O.-A special from
Pleasant Hill, Mo-, says about noon Fri
day Major G. j. Dawson, an old and much
respected citizen of this place, was in
stantly killed by man named Charles
Tabor. 1t seems that Major Dawson and
Tabor had just finished game of pool,
and, as the latter lost and had no money,
he asked the major to settle, which he
did. The two then started down the
street together, when the major jokingly
remarked, 81 guess I'll have to lock you
up" Tabor Immediately drew revolver
and fred two shots, which took effect in
the majors breast near the heart, causing
instant death. When taken into custody

s Blossom PRAIRIE, August 2O.-Dr
Henry Jones, of this place, had been on a
spree some time ago and lost $50 in Sam
Lamberson's saloon. Rufe Pettis to-day
